Students often read about ancient times at school. It can be difficult to picture how people lived during this time period. Seeing ancient objects at a Museum can help you to picture how people lived in the past.

Greek houses were filled with painted pottery of many different shapes and sizes: dinner plates, wine cups, pitchers, storage jars, oil flasks, perfume jars. We can learn about life and customs from the painted scenes on Greek pottery because thousands have survived.
